Precise aggregation-induced emission enhancement via H+ sensing and its use in ratiometric detection of intracellular pH values
Keyword(s):
A pyridyl functionalised tetraphenylethylene (Py-TPE) for ratiometric fluorescent detection of intracellular pH values is reported; the Py-TPE fluorescent probe can be used for H+ sensing in organic solvents (CHCl3, DMF and MeOH).
